Part 9. TEXAS LOTTERY COMMISSION
Chapter 401. ADMINISTRATION OF STATE LOTTERY ACT
Subchapter D. LOTTERY GAME RULES
(Editor's note: The text of the following section proposed for repeal will not be published. The section may be examined in the offices of the Texas Lottery Commission or in the Texas Register office, Room 245, James Earl Rudder Building, 1019 Brazos Street, Austin.)
The Texas Lottery Commission (Commission) proposes the repeal of Title 16, Part 9, Chapter 401, Subchapter D, §401.312 (relating to "Texas Two Step" On-Line Game).
The repeal is proposed concurrently with proposed new "Texas Two Step" On-Line Game rule at 16 TAC §401.312. The purposes of the proposed new rule are to provide that no funds will be added to the Texas Two Step prize reserve fund, to allow for the depletion of the Texas Two Step prize reserve fund, to amend the prize structure to account for the fact that no funds will be added to the Texas Two Step prize reserve fund, and to make the language in the rule simpler and easier to read.
Kathy Pyka, Controller, has determined that for each year of the first five years the repeal will be in effect, there are no foreseeable implications related to cost or revenues of the state or local governments expected as a result of enforcing or administering the repeal. Ms. Pyka has also determined that there would be no adverse effect on small businesses, micro businesses, or local or state employment. Ms. Pyka has also determined that there would be no probable economic cost to persons required to comply with the repeal as proposed.
Michael Anger, Director of the Lottery Operations Division, has determined that for each year of the first five years the proposed repeal will be in effect, the public benefit anticipated as a result of the repeal of the existing rule and adoption of the new rule is the elimination of the separate prize reserve fund for the Texas Two Step on-line game, which is neither required by law nor necessary as a matter of practice. The elimination of the prize reserve fund will simplify the prize structure and make the operation of the game easier for players to understand. It may also reduce confusion regarding the prize reserve fund.
The Commission requests comments on the proposed repeal from any interested person. Comments may be submitted to Sarah Woelk, Special Counsel, by mail at Texas Lottery Commission, P.O. Box 16630, Austin, Texas 78761-6630; by facsimile at (512) 344-5189; or by email at legal.input@lottery.state.tx.us. The Commission will hold a public comment hearing on this proposal at 10:00 a.m. on February 5, 2008 at 611 E. 6th Street, Austin, Texas 78701. Comments must be received within 30 days after publication of this proposed repeal in order to be considered.
The repeal is proposed under Texas Government Code, §466.015, which authorizes the Commission to adopt rules governing the operation of the lottery. The repeal is also proposed under Texas Government Code, §467.102, which authorizes the Commission to adopt rules for the enforcement and administration of the laws under the Commission's jurisdiction.
Texas Government Code, Chapter 466, is affected by this proposal.

Subchapter A. ADMINISTRATION
The Texas Lottery Commission (Commission) proposes amendments to Title 16, Part 9, Chapter 402, Subchapter A, §402.100 (relating to Definitions). The purpose of the proposed amendments is to delete a definition of "card-minding device" that is unnecessary because it is defined in another rule, §402.302. Specifically, the amendments delete paragraph (6) and renumber the remaining paragraphs.
Kathy Pyka, Controller, has determined that for each year of the first five years the proposed amendments will be in effect, there will be no significant fiscal impact for state or local governments as a result of the proposed amendments. There will be no adverse effect on small businesses, micro businesses, or local or state employment. There will be no additional economic cost to persons required to comply with the amendments as proposed.
Philip D. Sanderson, Director of the Charitable Bingo Operations Division, has determined that for each year of the first five years the proposed amendments will be in effect, the public benefit anticipated is elimination of language that may cause confusion when reading §402.302 pertaining to card-minding systems.
